Squatting on the ground, looking at the splintered pieces of wood, tears fell down.
This was the footbath that she and Shuanzi used when they closed the door and soaked their feet face to face in the winter.
When the two children were young, they used to take baths in this large basin. After washing the big white and the little black, the water basin was usually surrounded by water after the bath, as if there was a fight.
However, those happy times are engraved in this big basin and will never be forgotten.
But now, this footbath with many memories has been smashed by Wang Hongquan... Yang Huamei squatted on the ground, tears falling down.
When Mrs. Tan saw her daughter crying, she thought she was frightened by Wang Hongquan, and now it was even more serious.
The old lady jumped three feet high from the ground, grabbed something without knowing it, and chased after Wang Hongquan.
Wang Hongquan called it a dodge...
I don’t know how many blows Wang Hongquan received in the end. Anyway, although the others ran away, the crutch he always kept by his side was lost.
Although Tan won the battle, in the process of chasing, Tan also lost his shoes.
The noise here alerted the neighbors in front, back, and left of the next door.
Suddenly, a circle of melon-eating people gathered in front of Lao Wang's new house.
But over at Lao Wang's old house, Xiao Hei and Xu Qiaohong did not come out.
Even the doors and windows were closed.
why?
Because last night they went to Uncle Fu's house to see the injury on Xu Qiaohong's waist. When they came back, they applied plaster and boiled hot water to apply it. Xiao Hei also found time to go to the kitchen to boil medicine. Xu Qiaohong groaned like a butchered pig. That way.
The two of them tossed around until late at night, and finally fell asleep after being exhausted.
So right now, people in Lao Wang's new house are in a state of panic, but the young couple are snoring everywhere, unstoppable.
Finally, the farce ended with the arrival of Lao Yangtou and Wang Hongtao.
When he learned that Tan had beaten Wang Hongquan, Old Yang's face twitched violently.
Wang Hongtao's face didn't look good either.
"Sister-in-law, this is a bit too much. It's wrong to hit someone..." Wang Hongtao said with a straight face.
Tan's face was still full of anger.
Lao Yangtou blocked Tan behind him and said to Wang Hongtao: "She has such a bad temper. I will apologize for her."
"If Wang Hongquan is beaten and injured somewhere, our old Yang family will pay for the medical expenses!"
Wang Hongtao's face looked a little better now.
Mrs. Tan pointed at the main door of the old Wang family's new house and roared at Wang Hongtao: "You jumped out to fight for your brother, so why don't you come and give your brother an explanation for the broken door lock?"
"Otherwise, I'll beat you up too! The worst I can do is pay the medical bills, and I can afford it!"
Wang Hongtao's eyelids were twitching, but he still captured useful information from Tan's words.
He raised his head and looked at the main room door, a little confused: "What do you mean? The door lock has been changed?"
Tan said angrily: "What if? If Mei'er and I weren't blocked at the door, how could we have caused so many troubles?"
Wang Hongtao looked questioningly at Yang Huamei, who was squatting on the ground, hugging her knees, looking lonely and crying alone: "Mei'er, none of the keys in your hand can open this lock?"
Yang Huamei raised her tearful eyes, glanced at Wang Hongtao, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle, the lock has been changed and I can't get in."
Wang Hongtao frowned.
Thinking of something, he said to Old Yangtou and Yang Huamei: "Just wait for me! I'll go ask you what's going on!"
After a while, Wang Hongtao came back, still without success.
"My eldest brother said that the door lock was changed by Dabai that day, and the key was taken away by Dabai after the replacement. My eldest brother didn't have the key at all."
"My eldest brother only has the key to this yard. The key was given to Meier when he built this new house..."
"Do you think I will believe what you are saying?" Tan stared at Wang Hongtao with a strange smile, "You all have the surname Wang. If you don't go to your brother, how can you go to me?"
Wang Hongtao was also angered by Tan's strange words.
He even laughed out of anger.
"Auntie, I don't want to hear what you are saying!"
"Is it possible that I am helping my brother lie? What good does this do to me?"
"As you said before, this house was built with the money subsidized by your old Yang family. Even if you can no longer live in it, Dabai and the others will live in it. Even if Dabai and the others in the oil field no longer live in it, then this house will be locked. What does it have to do with Wang Hongtao and me having half a penny living here in the wasteland?"
"Hong Tao is right. Hong Tao doesn't have to help his brother cover up his lies."
When Old Yangtou saw Wang Hongtao talking, he became more and more excited. He was afraid that Tan would offend a lot of people, so the old man quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
Wang Hongtao wanted to give Lao Yang some face, so he didn't say much more.
"Old Uncle Yang, I'm going home first, you can do as you please!"
"Okay, okay, go ahead and go ahead, we'll just stand there for a while and then leave."
Before Wang Hongtao left, he also wanted to persuade some of the neighbors who were watching to leave, but unfortunately, these neighbors were just watching the excitement and were not afraid of serious trouble.
I can’t persuade you to leave at all!
Not only did they not leave, there were even people outside the yard booing, "If it doesn't work, just break the door lock!"
"That's right, how can a living person be choked to death by urine?"
"What Dabai did this time was a bit extraordinary. How could he really change the door lock? No matter how good Meier is, she is still his own mother!"
"That's right, it's outrageous!"
Yang Huamei fell into confusion amid the crowd's bluster.
However, Tan was tempted.
With his head buried, he was on the ground looking for someone to break the door lock, but was dragged behind him by Lao Yangtou.
"Stop being ridiculous, what does it look like to break the door lock? Is it a robber in the clear sky?"
"Besides, with your body and strength, if you look at that big iron lock, I can't even break it open, let alone you!"
"Then call someone who can smash it," said Tan. "Ask blacksmith Luo to smash it. He is a blacksmith by birth, so he will definitely hit it accurately."
Old Yang shook his head, "Pull it down, go home, don't need anything anymore, and buy whatever you need later!"
In this way, Lao Yangtou returned empty-handed again with Tan and Yang Huamei.
The spectators also dispersed.
But the incident that happened in the morning did not disappear.
On the contrary, these village women who saw the excitement took the news to the pond to share with other women when they went to the pond at the entrance of the village to wash themselves.
When the men in the village went to work in the fields, they brought this matter to the fields as a source of discussion.
So, what happened early in the morning, by breakfast time, was basically a household name in the entire Changping Village.
The news naturally spread to the entrance of the village.
